Then the whole congregation ... of Israel left the Desert of Sin , moving from place to place as the LORD commanded. They camped at Rephidim , but there was no water for the people to drink.
| LXX |
So the people contended with Moses , “ Give water to drink. ” “ Why do you contend with me ? ” Moses replied. “ Why do you test - the LORD ? ”
| LXX |
But the people thirsted for water there , and they grumbled ... against Moses ... : “ Why - have you brought us out of Egypt — to make us and our children - and livestock {die} of thirst ? ”
| LXX |
Then Moses cried out to the LORD , ... “ What should I do with these people ? A little more ... and they will stone me ! ”
| LXX |
And the LORD said to Moses , “ Walk on ahead of the people and take some of the elders of Israel with you. Take along in your hand the staff with which you struck - the Nile , and go.
| LXX |
Behold , I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. And when you strike the rock , water will come out of it for the people to drink. ” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
| LXX |
He named ... the place Massah and Meribah because the Israelites ... quarreled , and because they tested - the LORD , saying , “ Is the LORD among us or not ? ”
| LXX |
After this, the Amalekites came and attacked ... the Israelites at Rephidim.
| LXX |
So Moses said to Joshua - , “ Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on the hilltop ... with the staff of God in my hand. ”
| LXX |
Joshua - did as Moses had instructed and fought against the Amalekites , while Moses , Aaron , and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
| LXX |
- As long as Moses held up his hands , Israel prevailed ; but when he lowered (them) , Amalek prevailed.
| LXX |
When Moses’ hands grew heavy , they took a stone and put it under him , and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held his hands up , one on each ... side , so that his hands remained steady until the sun went down.
| LXX |
So Joshua - - overwhelmed Amalek - and his army ... with the sword.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Moses , “ Write this ... on a scroll as a reminder and recite ... it to Joshua - , because I will utterly blot out ... - the memory of Amalek from under heaven. ”
| LXX |
And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner.
| LXX |
“ Indeed , ” he said , “ a hand was lifted up toward the throne of the LORD. The LORD will war against Amalek from generation to generation. ”
